Legend of Legacy did pretty well for the first week. Now let's see if it drops off the map in the coming weeks. If it manages to break 100k, it'll be a pretty solid success for the publisher. The director seems like a really passionate young guy, so I'm rooting for him to find success.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!

after Lost Dimension and furyus general reputation lots of fence sitters, even though it looked like really great. I have it, its ok, but nothing spectacular. Dig the art style though and music is great.

It's amazing PS4 holding up so well despite only 1 game and at nr 20. You'd expect it to fall down sub ps3 level with that shitty support, the console not giving up so easily must disappoint some here lol.

Zestiria not on PS4 is such a missed opportunity, would've helped both the console and game.

Wii U software completely dwarf ps4 software but for whatever reason the system continues to sell very poorly in comparison to the ps4. Technically, this is a tie in Japan, where one company wins on the hardware front while the other company wins on the software front. At least that's my opinion of course.

It may just be the saturation point for the HW market in Japan right now.

We'll know for sure when a truly big game like KH3 or FXV hits the PS4. If it can drive HW sales over 100K then the PS4 will likely go on to strongly overtake the WiiU. If not the console market in general in Japan looks bleaker then ever.

My money's on the latter, so many Japanese companies have switched their focus to mobile I don't see anything in the pipe pulling them back. Where are all the mid tier games that sustain a platform between the megareleases?

If they launch Zestria in NA on PS3 it will be dead lin the water. PS3 sales in NA have been stagnant (outside of the normal holiday bump) It still boggles my mind why they would not launch the game on PS4 in the first place with the way the market has been going with PS4 sales... Bamco plzzz..

There's quite a few mid-tier games coming from February onwards. March especially is packed with them. The question is can PS4 sustain the decent third party support it's seeing recently or is it a one-and-done kind of deal.

It's been said again and again and even a few times on this topic, it's not because it'll sell 60 or 160k copies on PS4 that it means 60-160k additional copies, most of the sales would just come from splitting the userbase across platforms.

So basically...something that you can't prove. There's a lot of unknown variables.

What if the people who would normally buy it later on decides to get it early on PS4? Or someone who skipped most of the PS3 Tales of games and bought a PS4 version of ToZ because they wanted something to play?

You can't say with confidence that a PS4 version wouldn't add 60k to the first week sales. 160k? Not likely. Maybe by the end of it's LTD.

We know it is going to happen, especially with around 400k sold in Japan. They do need to put it on PS4 in NA/EU for it to gain sales though. If it is only on PS3, I don't think it would be worth their time for a physical release.....

Perfect, I thought I had seen it. Still says the same thing: They need to launch this on PS4, period. PS3 will get it's hardcore dedicated fans only, but push sales. Hell, they should have done the same with Xillia 2. I mean, I really liked the first one, but like many others, I rarely turn on my PS3 anymore... (been 3-6 months now... dammit Destiny)
